Robert F. Kennedy Jr suspended his long-shot presidential bid on Friday.
GLENDALE – Robert F. Kennedy Jr, scion of America's storied political clan, suspended his long-shot presidential bid on Friday and endorsed Donald Trump, injecting new uncertainty into the White House race.
Kennedy failed to get on the ballot in even half of the 50 US states and his independent candidacy featured a number of bizarre twists -- including his claim to be suffering from a parasitic brain worm and a story about dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park."Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear," five of his siblings said in a joint statement in which they endorsed Harris.
At a Trump rally in Glendale there were repeated references by speakers including Charlie Kirk and Kari Lake to a MAGA movement they said welcomes all, including disaffected Democrats. Trump heaped praise on Kennedy, saying they would "fight together to defeat the corrupt political establishment and return control of this country to the people."
The 1963 killing of the president -- Robert F Kennedy Jr's uncle -- continues to fascinate much of the country, and remains the subject of myriad conspiracy theories. Harris, 59, a former senator from California and prosecutor, left the Democratic convention in Chicago with momentum, having outraised Trump and erased the polling leads he enjoyed before she replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket last month.
